Are you tired of focusing your retirement funds on mediocre investments like stocks and bonds? Why not instead invest in what you know—real estate! Learn how to set up a Solo 401k and how to self-direct your retirement savings into real estate investments such as rental properties and notes.

Dorsie has been a full time real estate investor for the past 6 years. While focusing on building her real estate business and investment portfolio, Dorsie discovered that real estate investors have unique opportunities for retirement investing on which we should be cashing in!

You Don’t Need Money Or Cred To Buy Houses! September 27th
@ 7PM on GoToWebinar

with Don DeRosa

No Charge to Attend for Members or Guests
Who Attend Online via GoToWebinar.com!

Have you ever watched those tv programs that show couples flipping properties for tens of thousands of dollars and wished you could do that? Do you wish that you could find something that could provide you with additional income that would make your life better? Well guess what. Real estate might be your answer and it’s easier than you think. Most people think you have to have lots of money or good cred to buy real estate. Some people even think you have to be really smart. The truth is NONE of this is true! Don’t get me wrong, having any and all of those things are helpful but definitely not needed. In fact, most of the time I prefer to teach people with none of those things because then you can’t use them as a crutch!

This month on the BIGO broadcast, I will be showing you how to make money without any of your own money or cred. All you will need is your willingness to learn and your ability to apply simple techniques. I will show you how to identify a property, put it under contract and simply assign that contract to someone else for a fee. I will also show you how to buy properties where the homeowner just deeds over the property to you and you become the owner. Can you imagine buying properties where you never have to use your cred and never have to go to the bank ever again. Would you like to buy a new home to live in but can’t afford the down payment? That’s no problem, I’ll show you how.

Here is some of the items you can learn from this session:

How to find properties to flip for virtually no money out of your pocket

How to identify what is a good deal and what is a dud

What three tiny pieces of paper can make you $10,000 per month

How to upgrade to the house of your dreams without needing a bank

How to buy property after property even if you have horrid cred and no money to your name

And Much, Much More!

If you’ve ever said these words to yourself, “ I wish I could afford that…” then you need to be on this broadcast. This could be the most important session you go to your whole life. There are two types of people out there in this world. Those that “Dream” and those that “Do.” Which do you want to be? Be on this month’s broadcast on Wednesday September 27th @ 7PM ET and let me change the statement from “I wish I could afford that…” to “How can I afford that?”

Let me leave you with this thought. “ If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to build theirs”. Is that what you want? RSVP NOW!

Each month we will have a 3-4 person panel who will quickly pre-screen your deals and decide if they want to buy them from you on the spot. If someone on the panel wants your deal, you can have it under contract before you leave the meeting. If everyone on the panel passes on your deal, you can make it available to the entire audience. If we don’t have time to present your deal to the panel and the audience, after the meeting is over there will be plenty of time to network with other buyers and sellers and share your deals.

Your Property Flyers – In order to analyze your deals quickly, please put as much the following information on your Property Flyers as possible:

High, Average and Low After Repair Value (ARV)

Asking Price

How Much is Owed on the Property?

Amount of Monthly Mortgage Payments on the Property and the Interest Rate

For a beginning investor, you must understand that completing deals are the lifeblood of this business. If you do not have deals, it will not be long before you will be looking to quit. Not fail, QUIT! Your fellow investors do not want to see that happen. What is a new investor to do? You may have heard that you need leads to find those deals. On Monday, September 18th at 6:30PM at the Beginning Investors Group in Sandy Springs, we will have as our special guest speaker, Mr. TyCoon, who will show you an interesting way that you can adapt to generate those neccessary leads to convert into money-making deals!

Mr. Tycoon is going to share how he takes leads that no one else seems to want, or those that may seem to lead to nowhere and turn them into some of the best deals you could do. This is an event you should make EVERY effort to be there!
